COW AND HER PRODUCT
IThese notes are prepared by the
dairy division of Clemson College, which
will be glad to answer any questions
pertaining to dairying.]
The only safe rule for the
dairyman to follow: Test, don'ti
guess.
Prices received for dairy pro
ducts remain fairly constant.
The dairy farmer's income is
steady and he sells his product
for daily, weekly or monthly
cash settlements.
It broadens the thinking pow-1
er's of a man to breed and de -
velop a good dairy herd.
The income from the dairy
cow is quick. Feed purchased I
and fed one day is converted In-J
to milk the next.
Buttermilk is noV only a good
beverage, buji.'nds a good medi
cinal 6It. Its nutritive value
Abhgh, two quarts being equal
in this respect to about one
pound of beefsteak.
Two pounds of grain when
fed with skimmilk or butter
milk will take the place of one
pound of butterfat for raising
calves. A pound of butterfat
will sell for thirty cents and two
pounds of grain will cost about
three or four cents.
Clean milk is milk that Is pro
duced from cows free from dis
ease and under clean conditions
and which, after having been
produced, is so handled as to be
kept free from outside contami
nation. Clean milk is one of
man's greatest boons. Dirty
milk is one of his worst enemies.
With the approach of warm
weather, farmers will have to
take special measures to keep
cream cool. There are several
good, inexpensive methods of
doing this which do not involve
the use of ice. These will be ex
plained to any one wishing it by
the Dairy Division of Clemson
College.
